Safety Information (continued)
AIR COMPRESSOR AND PNEUMATIC TOOL
SAFETY
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create
accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any
such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in
a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal
injury.
CAUTION: Do not use in an environment that is dusty or
otherwise contaminated. Using the air compressor in this
type of environment may cause damage to the unit.
Keep compressors as far from the spraying area as possible,
□
at least 15 ft. from the spraying area and all explosive
vapors.
□
Risk of bursting. Do not adjust the regulator to result in
output pressure greater than the marked maximum pressure
of the attachment. Do not use at pressure greater than the
rated maximum pressure of this compressor.
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time-delay
□
fuses with this product.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain.
□
Store indoors.
Ensure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled
□
or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and
may become damaged.
□
Use the air compressor only for its intended use. Do not alter
or modify the unit from the original design or function. Never
weld or drill holes in the air tank.
Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
□
Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible
□
warning label.
Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does
□
not function properly.
□
Do not attempt to pull or carry the air compressor by the
hose.
Your tool may require more air consumption than this air
□
compressor is capable of providing.
□
Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or
animals.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation
□
is dusty.
Do not use this air compressor to spray chemicals. Your
□
lungs can be damaged by inhaling toxic fumes. A respirator
may be necessary in dusty environments or when spraying
paint.
Do not use this compressor if any parts have been exposed
□
to water.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
□
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
□
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool
□
or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
□
increase the risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (EXTENSION CORDS)
WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working
area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working
with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If
damaged, replace immediately. Never use the air
compressor with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Improperly connecting the equipment·
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.
□
When using the air compressor at a considerable distance from
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current that the compressor will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a
loss of power and causing the motor to overheat.
□
Only use 100 ft. or less round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter's Laboratories (UL).
□
For an extension cord up to 50 ft. (15.2 m) in length, use
14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases. 12 AWG and 10 AWG may also be used.
DO NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
For an extension cord up to 100 ft. (30.5 m) in length, use 12
□
gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases. 10 AWG may also be used.
DO NOT USE 14 AWG OR SMALLER.)
□
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
air compressor's plug.
□
When operating the compressor outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "w-A" or "w". These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
